so talking to carl cameron about how mitt romney and his folks are grooving to some country music stars, the president and his folks, they took a little bit more toward bruce springstein. he's been out there for the president. they'll use him again to turn out his side. a little more rock. >> eric: the boss and the commander in chief together. ed, before you go, it will be a different format on tuesday, kind of that town hall. any sense on how they're trying to get the president to step up his game so he avoids what happened the last time? >> i talked to some of the president's senior advisors. they know this is a balancing act. while they want to see the president show more passion, really go after mitt romney on bain capital and other issues which he didn't do the first time around, you're right. he's got to be careful in a town hall format where you don't just have a moderator, but you'll get questions from real voters. some of those will be undecided. and if you look like you're too aggressive, too negative, that could blow up in your face. it's a very delicate balancing act. >> eri

i would say there was a lot of talk before the debate that mitt romney, his -- the chances in the race were slipping away so a lot of republican donors were looking at moving to congressional races and wanted to think about the senate and house races as a way to save runs, if you will, because they thought romney's chance mrs. over t shows he's back in the game. >> the vice presidential debate, a lot of people who werethis on the fence have been telling me that they got the specifics that they wanted from the romney campaign this week with respect to jobs and an economic plan, healthcare and a lot of other domestic issues. now we switch to domestic and foreign policy. ryan is a numbers guy. how do you think he'll match up to vice president biden when it comes to the economy first, foreign policy second? >> i think it will be an even match. biden was in the senate 36 years so he has a very good understanding of federal issues as well. but paul ryan jokes about how he's been reading federal budgets since he was 22 years old. so they both have a very long backlog of data they can use. i t

he talked about what he's going to do to build off those successes. we expect from mitt romney. he deviates from things he said in the past, the president will call him on it. >> patti ann: so the polls show romney getting a bump from that last debate and the gop says it's because romney was able to disprove the caricature of himself that the obama camp has been pushing. what do you say to that? >> look, we've always said this will be a tight race. that's why it's so important that all of your viewers, no matter who they support, make sure they're registered to vote and get out to vote or early voting where possible. thity is that the reason people responded to mitt romney is he showed up and started advertising something that's different from what they're selling. it's not that there was a caricature out there. the american people have seen that truth on the stump. you don't have to listen to us. just listen to the candidates' own words. listen to the behind closed doors tape where he talks about the 47% of americans, that he believes are victims, that he wants to disregard. lo

for mitt romney it does take away one of talking points he has been very big on, number of consecutive months that the number has been at 8% or above, that line is gone from his speech. short term positives are there for president obama but long term you look at the historical numbers in terms of unemployment in presidential reelection years and depth of the political challenges are great here. >> heather: i'll ask you more about historically in a moment but the numbers have been called into question. there is actually a huge disconnect between the modest of new jobs report and significant decrease in the unemployment rate. jack welch, he went to as far to suggest that the numbers may be manipulated by the obama administration. do you think that the numbers add up? >> i think the suggestion that the numbers was cooked is relatively ridiculous. that being said. economists at the labor department will admit freely that there is a lot of margin of error in these numbers. a month after each job report these numbers are revised upward or downward. the question of the number came out of the
